“Don’t be afraid to ask a question,” Rianna said. “We are all here to help you and our goal is to make sure you have a successful school year and a successful high school career at Glen Cove.”

The first-year students met with guidance counselors, who provided copies of their 2014-15 class schedules. The students walked the halls of the high school building familiarizing themselves with their new surroundings.

The event concluded with a barbecue, with food and drink donated by the school’s PTSA. Students enjoyed music, caught up with friends and took pictures with props in a photo booth. Some even won raffles donated by the Glen Cove Booster Club.
